I posted the following in another thread in the Modules section, but I thought I'd put it in troubleshooting too.

I'm hoping someone can help me with a couple of problems with my Springport. I've had it for about a week. It's great for downloading my POP email (a "my yahoo" freemail account), and for web browsing (given the screen limitations). However, I'm having two recurring problems:

First, I can't seem to send messages. I get the following error message:

521 - yahoo.com closing transmission channel. You must be POP - authenticated before you can use this STMP server & you must use your yahoo mail address for the send/fror field.

I then have to do a soft reset to get the thing working. Any thoughts?

Second, the modem seems to be freezing up the whole thing on an intermitent basis (unrelated to the problem above). I get an error dialog box, but it's blank - no text. Again, I have to do a soft reset.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Closing thread...

Since there are multiple threads about the SpringPort, this one is being closed.

Please post any future messages about the SpringPort in the Xircom Springport 56 Modem thread in the Springboard Modules forum.
